The reatiuent monopoly of the North
west has reduced the jirice of stock so
low that the growers, particularly ener
getic sheep men, find it more profitable
to ship their stock and pay the heavy
freight 'J,000 miles to Chicago than it is
to sell to the home concern. The infor
mation is at hand that within the lust
six weeks several truin-loads have been
shipped from Pendleton and seven from
The Dalles. The total number of sheep
shipped to Chicago from The Dalles has
been about L'fc.OOO, at an average ptoflt
of about $!,"()() per ttain load. S. 15.
l!arkr, of Condon, expects, to ship
about. 15,000 head to Chicago, starling in
about ten days. It will requite thirteen
cars to ship this number. With the
price of stock to low here one would
naturally expect, to find the nice of
cured meats correspondingly low, but
such is not the fact. The eastern cured
meats come into active competition
with that of home concern after paying
enormous freights from Chicago to thin
place. In other words it is cheaper to
raise stock und ship it to Chicago, have
it killed and cured and then shipped
back, paying height both ways than it
is to kill and cine it at home. There iB
a largo Held in the Northwest for a pack

one of the large establishments of Chi
cago are now gathering information that
will help them in building up such a
business. The lute Hurry in Chicago
will probably delay operations to some
extent, but it is only a question of time
when there will bo another concern.

A lamp exploded in Louis Hcppner's
house hint evening, the liberated oil
burning a hole in the carpet. The alarm
bell was rung, but there was no occasion
for their services on reaching the scene.
Shortly afterward parties on the street
noticed flames within the house of Mrs.
Nolan, next to Maier & Benton's grocery
store. Mrs. Nolan was watching the
first fire and had set a candle near the
curtains. The wind blew the flame upon
them and they caught fire. Those notic
ing the flames tried to get in the houEe
i to extinguish them, but she, supposing
them to be burglars, would not let them
in. They finally beat the door open
made their way to the room in which
was the fire and extinguished it, much
to tin surprise of Mrs. Nolan.

1. N. Day, jr., was iu town lafit even
ing. He is a very pleasant and brainy
young mnn, about ' years old, and a
conversation with him developed the
fact that he is prone to investigate any
subject under his notice with circum
spection and ability, and always "knowH
what he is talking about."
Liko everyone else visiting our coun
try, given to observation, he has been
greatly struck with our exceptional
facilities for fruit raising, and, speaking
of tho Irult itself, said it is more solid,
more spicy, richer, has less Bugar in it,
is firmer and will stand shipment better
than any fruit ho ever saw, that it far
excels California fruit. As for himself
ho would ask nothing better thun forty
acres of cherry trees in Wasco county
100 acres would suit him better.
"It is surpiising," said Mr. Day,
"that people tiro here who raise wheat
when the land will yield $200 or .f.'JOO net
'rom fruit. How much will that farm
produce?" he asked, pointing to a field
of wheat alwnt three miles distant from
town. He was told that the average
pr o fi tdj d n otex cced$ 4 or5 per acre,
and he said :"Two cherry trees will do
better than that."
"You do not need rain in the summer
time. All you have to do is to cultivate
the soil, keep it stirred, and the yield
will be abundant. I observe what I be
lieve to be another good thing, that is,
heading the treeo low; that is a good
plan in a dry climate." Mr. Day was
informed that was the reason that we
ditl not trellis our grapes; that by cut
ting them otr they spread over the sur
face of the ground, keeping it moist and
cool, appropriated the sunlight for their
own growth; and that last year 1,000
pounds of grapes was gathered from a
single vine.
Continuing in the Eamo strain, Mr.
Day said : "With the proper amount of
energy this should be the San Jose of
Oregon. The old pioneers do not ap
preciate what they have. Many of them
have made scarcely any eflbrt to improve
their land, but the time is coming when
this order of things will pass away.
New people will take their places, and
make this the most valuable country in
the Northwest."
